"It's okay," Kagome said patting my back. Yet, it wasn't okay. I was a wreck crying and shaking. I couldn't believe what had happen. I knew the world was a cruel and cold place but I didn't think people could still be so cruel. "Inuyasha do something," Kagome cried out. Inuyasha didn't respond or even looked at us. Kagome started staring at him trying to burn in his thick skull.

Inuyasha finally got the message after a fidgeting a bit. "Oi wench he'll be okay not like they tried to kill him or nothin'," Inuyasha snorted. "Yeah but they hurt his feelings," Kagome said get most impatient with our favorite dog friend.

"Maybe you forgot but we all are different from them," Inuyasha said looking towards the sunset. "Humans hated things that aren't like them," Inuyasha explain. "But why," I cried out. I had only wanted to play with the village children since everyone been so "busy" today.

{Flashback from earlier}

It had all start early today, I found myself alone yet again for the fifth time this week. Inuyasha and Kagome were making out again and Sango and Miroku had gone off somewhere's. I didn't even want to go find them because most likely they were doing the same thing.

Kaede were out in another village curing the sick. I had nothing to do and no one to play with. The villagers always kept their children away from me. As much as they respected Inuyasha, Kagome and the others. They didn't really trust them.

However today near the river their was a new human boy a lot younger than but all alone. I saw him getting bullied by the bigger boys. So, I decided to help him and so I transform into my big ball form and scared them away. Too bad I scared the kid and more than I had plan.

"Wh. Wh. What are you," said the boy. "I'm a fox demon," said I. The boy withdraw back into bush. "Hey I won't hurt you," I told him. I gave him a soft smiling. I didn't mean harm but I guess he still didn't trust me. "GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER," the boy scream at me now holding a stick.

His words hurts me more than his stick could have. "I'm not a monster," I said in a small voice. "ALL DEMONS ARE MONSTER," the boys scream. "Wolf killed my parents," the explain with tears in his eyes, "So all demons are murderous monsters," he finish shaking now. "But I'm not a monster," I said. My body felt like it was on fire even though my eyes were watering and then I started shaking. The boy starting screaming monster! Monster!

Pretty soon, I notice a small group of village surrounding me. It was the same group of boys. Though now they had stick and stone. My only opinion now was to flee and so I tried. However, they started to close in on me hitting me with their sticks and stone. I heard like "demon begone," "monster", "evil," "stupid fox," and "vile beast." I hated it, I hated them, and I hated not having anyone to protect me.

Where was Inuyasha to save me? I'll damn I saw a blur of red and silver out the corner just for a second before I hear the screams of the villagers. Then it was still and they were unconscious bodies. "It's okay Shippo," I heard him say. I was too scared and in too much pain to do anything right away. Yet, I was able to do like Rin-chan and hugged onto his legs.

I felt him dropped down to his knees and pick me up gently. Almost like how my father used to carry me when I was little. I held on close to him till I saw Kagome worried face. The instant she saw my bruised body she started crying. I heard mumble something like I'm sorry. Now I felt worst I made a woman I loved cry due to my carelessness. I think we all hated seeing Kagome cry which is why Kaede and Miroku went off to talk to the villagers.

[Flashback end}

Now I was in Kagome arm whom was in Inuyasha arm till he felt we were calm enough. Kaede had just along with Miroku. They had finish their talk with the headman and the villagers involved in the incident. We all waited till Kaede and Miroku were seated. "The villagers claim to be sorry of what has happened to ye. However, ye must remember that now that these now villagers are foreigners. They are from Obonoga tribe. They aren't as peaceful as the ones ye are use to seeing," Kaede explained in depth.

"Feh, these new villagers are stupid," Inuyasha grunted eating his ramen at an abnormally slow rate. Deep down I knew this was all bugging him and I knew things like this happen to him all the time. "Oh and there is one more thing, Inuyasha could ye be a little less forceful," Kaede scolded Inuyasha. "They had it coming," was the gruff replied the hanyou gave. "Inuyasha you broke four jaws, a couple limps, gave a few black eyes and six broken noses that Kaede had to mend. All by herself" Miroku exclaimed. "Whatever I'm going outside," Inuyasha said.

He was just getting uncomfortable. I finish the rest of my meal then Kagome took me outside to bathe me. I had a few scars and bruise and she didn't want me to hurt myself or get the band-aids too wet. During my bath Kagome started to sing a nice slow and soft tune. "You have a beautiful voice," I told her. She giggled and blushed at my comment. "Aw, thank you Shippo-chan," Kagome said as she "sampoo-ed" my hair. Then after she rinsed and dried my hair, she carefully dress me in one of her old tee shirts she didn't mind putting a hole in. Luckily, it wasn't too cold out since she didn't have anything for me to wear underneath it.

She sung me to sleep as well as the others everyone said had a good even Inuyasha. Then he went to sleep on top of the roof. Miroku pretended to go to sleep on Sango but Kirara bit him and Sango same him away. He had a limp in his walk for the rest of the night. S everything was okay overall once I went to sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night I had a nightmare I looked around to see Inuyasha back in the hut.

"Inuyasha," I said softly. "Hey runt," was his greeting. "What are you doing here," I asked. He looked around slightly his twitching a bit. "Come outside," he said. Knowing Inuyasha I knew it had to be something important. He always so outside we went together.
